Kelly Swaim

Board member
Secretary

Administrative tasks

​

Kelly fulfilled her dream of moving to the Bitterroot Valley in 2023. She discovered 1H@AT on Facebook a few years back. After volunteering for a day when she was in the area back in 2019, Kelly fell in love with the drafts. Having been in sales over the past twenty years, Kelly tends to think like a marketer. She's hoping to use her experiences in work and life to add to, and enhance all things at 1H@AT.

 Amber was born and raised in Spokane, WA. She moved her family to Billings in January of 2022, to follow her late father's dream. They have a small ranch, that is a great horse property. Amber is passionate about rescuing animals and started with kitty's, canines, and now equine! Amber is fabulous at foster failing...currently sitting at 100% failure! She has a background in working with non-profits and brings a lot of strategic- and fundraising skills to the table, but also provides foster care if needed!

Adena Kreutz

Advisor to the Board

Adena is a vital part of the rescue with her extensive knowledge not only in corporate business, but most of all when it comes to taking care of our beloved Gentle Giants! Her wealth of knowledge when it comes to nutrition and homeopathic needs for our drafts is so very valuable to us. Adena is also certified in Equine Kinesiology taping and has her own herd of drafts! Having a background in teaching, she comes in with a great set of writing- and computer skills as well, helping with administrative tasks as needed, all the while providing foster care if the need arises!

About Us

1 Horse At A Time Draft Horse Rescue is driven by a single goal: to save unwanted, neglected and abused draft horses from going to slaughter!  The rescue wants to do its part in making the world a better place for all, even if it can only be done 1 Horse At A Time. The rescue strives to build productive relationships and to make a positive impact with all of their pursuits.

​

Throughout the course of our work, other rescues have seen our success and reached out to partner with us. This allows us to proxy bid at auction on their behalf and thus place more horses into save, loving homes. 

​

Each year, more than 100,000 American horses—working, racing and companion horses and even children’s ponies—are inhumanely transported long distances in cramped trailers without food, water or rest. Then they are brutally slaughtered, and their meat is shipped overseas for human consumption. The majority of these horses are young, healthy animals who could have led productive lives with loving owners if they’d been given the chance.

​

That's where 1 Horse At A Time comes in.  The organization actively seeks out draft horses at auctions that are at risk of being sent to slaughter. The unwanted, old ones, the injured ones, the hurt ones, the ones that have "served their purpose" and now don't serve their purpose anymore and are being thrown out. Sometimes the healthy ones that are just not wanted anymore. The rescue takes them home, nurtures them back to health, feeds them, gives them proper medical attention but most of all: loves them!! And it can only be done with your help. Yes, the organization will ask for donations. We will hold fundraisers. We will speak at events to raise awareness, but one thing we will do for sure: we will save that life no matter what! And we are excited to have you follow us on this journey!
